Perplexity can now access your bank accounts and manage your money

Perplexity can now connect to your bank accounts via Plaid in 17 European countries, including France, to analyze your spending and help you manage your budget. The AI ​​assistant has read-only access to your accounts, meaning it cannot perform any actions there.

Anthropic recently announced the ability for its users to connect Claude to their bank accounts. It is now Perplexity's turn to be able to have access to your bank accounts in order to transform itself into a financial advisor. This feature is now available in France.

Perplexity's access to your bank accounts is read-only, meaning the AI ​​assistant cannot perform any actions, such as making transfers, making investments, or moving money. It can only read data from bank accounts that you have given it permission to access. Note also that the AI ​​does not have access to your banking passwords.

Perplexity can be connected to bank accounts via Plaid today in 17 European countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland and the Netherlands. Note that the company Perplexity defines this functionality as a step towards what it calls “intelligent finance”, that is to say the integration of artificial intelligence directly into financial matters. Little by little, AI is intruding into most of the services we use, and our bank accounts are no exception.
